Alright, so I'll try to make this as succinct as possible.
I would very much like to create an interactive oral history of this community.
Many people here joined this community when it began nearly a decade ago, and several dozen of us have joined the club at various points throughout that journey. A lot of interesting stuff has happened in that time, and without delving too much into the scholastics of it, let's just say that there's so much for ourselves and others to learn from analyzing our history together. If nothing else, we deserve to have some kind of record that we can look at years from now and remember what we did together.
I plan on treating this as anthropologic study of sorts, and will likely be working on it for several months. I will be talking to some anthro professors in a few weeks to best understand how to approach this. But right now I'm not going to focus on the logistics or the details of this project. Right now, I need to determine if I have enough resources to even attempt it.
I have a giant list of community members here, both past and present. This is an outdated list with only some additions. If you can think of any past or present community members who aren't on this list, then please let me know so I can add them.
After the list is complete, I'll be gathering contact information on all members, contacting everyone possible, and asking them if they're interested in doing an interview for this study. Then I'll know if I'll have enough voices to make this possible.
But for now, just assembling the list.
So who's missing?
